Capsule Geology

Dykes and irregular masses of the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions (Emerald stock) intrude limestones and argillites of the Lower Cambrian Laib Formation and the Lower to Middle Ordovician Active Formation.

Scheelite occurs as fine disseminated grains and narrow veinlets in a garnet-diopside skarn near the base of a grey and white crystalline limestone of the Reeves Member of the Laib Formation. About 300 metres to the northeast of the main showing are tremolitic black argillites and argillaceous limestones cut by aplitic intrusives of the Emerald stock.
